The holidays have a way of transforming even the simplest spaces into something magical. Whether it’s the scent of fresh pine or the quiet twinkle of a tree at dusk, this season invites us to slow down, gather close, and surround ourselves with beauty. At Iowa Outdoor Products, we believe that holiday decorating should feel both joyful and effortless and we’re here to help you make that happen.
Fresh, Fragrant Evergreens
There’s nothing quite like the scent of real greenery to signal the start of the season. Our lot is filled with premium Christmas trees, hand-selected for shape and longevity. We also offer fresh-cut greens, garlands, and wreaths perfect for doors, mantels, and tabletops.

Additionally, we carry mini evergreens
and potted spruce, or cedar, ready to tuck into
containers or replant outdoors after the holidays.

Lifelike Faux Greens
For those who love the look of evergreens without the upkeep, our faux garlands, wreaths, and stems are crafted to look lush and natural,
ideal for mantels, stairways, and centerpieces that stay picture-perfect all season long. Mix them with real clippings for an extra touch of authenticity.
Decor & Ornaments
From sparkling ornaments and festive ribbons to seasonal statuary and winter lanterns, our retail space is brimming with inspiration. Whether you prefer a classic red-and-green palette, wintry neutrals, or something with a touch of whimsy, you’ll find décor that complements every style.
Our displays are designed to spark ideas, so stop by and let yourself wander through our winter wonderland of textures, tones, and twinkle.

Planters, Pots & Mini Trees
We specialize in custom winter containers, overflowing with evergreens, berries, and branches that stay vibrant all season long.
Or, if you’d like to create your own, we have everything you need: planter-ready greens, mini trees, and seasonal accents. Bring your favorite pot from home or let our team help design one tailored to your space.
If you'd prefer a more creative and hands-on approach, be sure to join us for one of our Winter Container Workshops. Dates can be found on our event page.


Gifts from the Greenhouse
Beyond the decorations, our shop is filled with thoughtful gifts from houseplants and home décor to garden statuary, planters, and artisan ornaments. We also carry a curated selection of books perfect for gardeners, design lovers, and home enthusiasts, along with gift certificates that make giving beautifully simple. Whether you’re shopping for a gardener, a neighbor, or yourself, you’ll find something special to celebrate the season.
Make This Holiday Season Naturally Beautiful
Mark your calendars, Santa will be in the glass greenhouse on November 29th from
1-3pm. Bring your camera and capture a festive photo surrounded by twinkling lights and holiday greenery. It's the perfect way to kick off the season with family and friends.
Stop in, explore, and let us help you bring your holiday vision to life indoors and out.
Visit us at Iowa Outdoor Products, where nature and design come together to make this the most wonderful time of the year.
